It's shocking what children walking to and from school are going to have to navigate in this neighborhood from prostitution, to public heroin use and intoxication, to dange rous speeding dirt bikes that disregard traffic signals when people are crossing the street, to public urination and defecation. Most parents are working and can't walk their children to and from school. Shame on Albany for choosing not to have cleaner safer streets. And where is the alleged mental health help so many people were clamoring for while wanting to defund the police?

What is wrong with people? What would possess someone to do this??
